@fairyfemmes thank you, it like, really oddly brings back the same vibes as straight men viewing every woman sexually? like I understand that queerness is about letting these things be *possible,* but does fuckability now really have to be the default thought?

Remembering when John Piper said God would be disappointed that some people apparently “waste” their lives by enjoying it collecting seashells Um. Don’t you think a Creator would be thrilled when someone finally appreciates creation?

As an asexual aromantic christian growing up asian, I always felt the need to ace everything. There was no room for mistakes, including coming out once I finally had the time to figure that out. It was hard. That’s why for this pride month I’m partnering with ace hardware—

Purity culture’s attitude towards sex is such a whiplash. You’re telling me you devoutly practice abstinence from sex—years of resisting temptation & accountability—but the moment you’re a married man, having ONE night of hearing “no, not tonight” absolutely destroys you?

Y’all this is about amatonormativity. This is not saying only aces can truly have friends.

Purity culture is where it’s shame on you if you did it, you “lost something that you can’t get back” (not true); BUT ALSO shame on you if you NEVER do it, you’re losing time to find something that won’t look for you back. 6/🪡

An underrated heartbreaking line from Lilo & Stitch is when Lilo assumes Stitch was also orphaned and says “What happened to yours? …I know that’s why you wreck things, and push me.”

@tiffanyjwang I’ve been to a diversity panel once that ended up having its Q&A time dominated by a white male guy reading this whole list of how “a lot of what you guys said offended ME” and how now he knew he was a minority in the audience

I’m not “pure.” I’m ace. There is a world of difference. 12/12

We already know happy love stories of people who “married their best friend,” and not to negate that happiness but what are your platonic love stories? What are your friendships that continue across time and distance outside of romance? Looking specifically for friendship ones

Purity culture is where you quote “do not awaken love until it so desires” over & over, and yet when it’s time someone naturally does desire it’s SHAME; and when someone naturally does *not* desire now it’s WELL WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MARRY / WELL THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO MARRIAGE 7/
